Hi guys, I'm building a new rig and I'm not sure of what PSU should I get.

This is the build:

It could be a 980ti instead of the sli 970, I plan on overclocking at least a little bit, so I think 750w should be ok, is that right? Or will I need more?

Also, I'm liking the EVGA Supernova 750w Gold or the Corsair RM 750w Gold, which one do you recommend the most? 

Hope you can help me, thanks.

750 is fine for both GPU cases.

EVGA not the RM

You don't need that much wattage as I would go for a single 980Ti over a 970 SLI so 600W should be fine so I would get a EVGA GS,Seasonic M12II EVO or XFX XTR/XXX

 

Edit: With all those drives I would go for around 700W-750W anyways but still go for the specific PSU series I listed

The RM PSUs are decent but overpriced.

Thats why i said EVGA. I only have an RM850 cause it was on sale. :)

750 watts is only a few $ more usually and gives room for expansion for a second 980ti in a year or something

Wow, I didn't expect so many answers in so little time, thanks to everyone.

EVGA not the RM

 

750w should be plenty for a 980ti or 970 SLI.

 

evga 750w go with evga 7 year warranty + better custommer support

EVGA 750w it is then, thanks!

Thanks for the recommendations
